    Kaia Share the Love
    Melissa S.

    Since starting Kaia over three years ago, I have had my first green smoothie, participated in my first (and last) raw juice cleanse, ran my first 10K in a pink tutu, finished three obstacle course mud runs, beat my collegiate timed mile as a 35 year old mother of three, and held a plank for over 15 minutes. I am not listing these accomplishments to show-off my abilities, but to prove that when given the opportunity, we can accomplish what we thought would be too difficult or impossible. These challenges inspire me! I wasn't aware how strong my "aging" body can become! KaiaFit has been such a joy in my life. We all know that trying new healthy practices and making them habits, feeling strong, seeing muscles develop, feeling confident in our clothes, sweating a LOT, being a part of a team and seeing them succeed brings JOY! I never found this connection and happiness in my other gym memberships. Why I am committed: the challenge, the change and the chicks. 1) the challenge. The workouts are hard. But it wouldn't be rewarding if it wasn't hard. We have all heard the quote, "If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you." I know we all would rather waddle away after class feeling utterly exhausted versus a workout with mediocre movements and the option of not needing a shower since we didn't sweat THAT much. I appreciate that each one of us - within all our various fitness levels - can be challenged each morning. I am well aware we all have busy lives full of demands and responsibilities and showing up each day can be a challenge all its own. But 5 am for me has been the place where I can escape being mommy and wifey and focus on challenging myself for an hour - with 25 other moms, wives, and professionals doing the same thing. That hour makes me a happier mom and a more energetic wife (my husband fully supports KaiaFit). We do show up for the challenge. And, you all have my permission to keep challenging me. 2) the change. Yea, I had some physical changes after my first couple BRIKS. I lost some inches and gained some nice looking muscles. But the change I valued the most was the mental change that occurred within me. I began to look at food differently - thus the beginning of my green smoothie love affair. Who knew something that looked like a by-product of Shrek could taste amazing and make me feel like a well-fueled machine. The way I ate changed - the way I cooked changed - the way I rewarded myself changed - changes began happening because KaiaFit was educating me. I also became mentally stronger; workouts are 50% physical and 50% mental. If I knew I could beat my time and believed I could beat my time... I WAS beating my time. No question. The exterior is a byproduct of the change that occurred within my mind. 3) the chicks. I am an extremely social person. I am in my happy zone when I am around people. And, Kaia brings together likeminded women who all desire to be their best version of themselves and throws them all together to sweat, (sometimes) swear, and socialize together! And I LOVE IT! Friendships build. I have made life long friends through Kaia. I smile knowing KaiaFit was founded on the fact that women have a need to feel accepted, valued, and loved. Nikki saw a need to not only strengthen bodies, but strengthen womens' confidence and love for themselves. We all need validation and support. I know we have all felt accepted within the Kaia sisterhood. Kaia chicks don't compete against another's weaknesses. Instead we look for opportunities to help our friends overcome them. I have seen KaiaFit start as a fitness class for some, and as time went on, it became therapy and healing for them. A chance to repair and rebuild themselves. I love participating in this restoration. I love being a Kaia Kat chick. Thanks for inspiring me. Continue to challenge yourself, change what you know is holding you back, and rely on your Kaia chicks to walk, run or do high knees beside you along your journey!

I've been a member since 2022 and I have zero reason to want to look elsewhere. Rates are great and so is the service. Shout out to Anders the membership manager and Alyssa at the front desk. Both give world class service.

I really enjoy…read moreMauricio's Zumba classes, but there's one ongoing issue that honestly should be addressed by the gym staff. Some members constantly save large sections of the front row for friends who don't arrive until class is about to start. Today, Friday class for example, one lady used like 8 water bottles to reserve spots for people who showed up right as class began. Meanwhile, people who actually arrived early couldn't use those spaces. It's honestly surprising to see such territorial behavior from grown women in a fitness class...embarrassing. I understand saving one spot for a friend, but this has become excessive and very territorial. The classes get packed, and some of the behavior feels less like a fitness class and more like auditions for Dancing With the Stars. We get it... everyone has their favorite spot, but don't be selfish. The class should feel welcoming and fair for everyone. I hope the gym staff will address this so all members can enjoy the classes equally. I can also see how new clients could feel discouraged from trying these classes when faced with this type of behavior.

This one is by far the best. It's well maintained and VERY clean; both out on the floor and in the locker room. The other members are well educated, friendly, and courteous when lifting weights/doing cardio's. Rarely do you hear grunts, groans and dropping weights. The front counter staff are friendly; both coming and going. The trainers are professional and know what they're doing. I like this facility. How often do I go; 7/7 (except for Thanksgiving and Christmas)

    This is a very tiny gym. The strength training area is extremely small. It offers no pool or sauna…read more We went for a few years during Covid because they at least tried to keep stuff clean, but quickly stopped afterwards. The inflated price seems to create extremely entitled, mostly older gym-goers, that hoard 4-5 sets of freeweights at a time, and then hold loud 45-minute work calls while monopolizing a cable tower and glaring at anyone who comes close. If you want your routine to take 2 hours to do half as much actual lifting, spend 20 minutes trying to park, and still cost literally 10x as other gyms, then go for it. And hey, at least the locker rooms are clean. Just never try to cancel. They will call, text, email, and otherwise harass you to re-join every 2-3 months for the rest of your life. And no, they do not listen to requests to stop.

I wanted to share some thoughtful feedback that I believe could elevate this location even more. I've visited other Planet Fitness locations, like Long Beach, and noticed they offer a slightly wider range of equipment. It seems those locations attract strong engagement from members who are looking to grow in their fitness journey. I completely understand and appreciate that Planet Fitness aims to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment. That's what makes it special. At the same time, I believe there's an opportunity to gently evolve in a way that still honors that mission while helping members progress. Introducing a few additional pieces of equipment--such as a squat rack, a hip thrust machine, and even something like a spotlight mirror for progress photos--could make a meaningful difference. These additions don't have to be overwhelming; starting with just one of each would allow members to gradually become familiar and build confidence over time. For many members, growth comes from small steps outside their comfort zone. Providing access to these tools in a supportive environment could actually help reduce gym anxiety, not increase it. It creates a space where members feel empowered to improve at their own pace. I truly believe these additions would bring more positives than negatives, helping members become their best selves while also strengthening the appeal of this location. Thank you for continuing to create such a welcoming space, and for considering feedback from your community.

The workouts are always different and move so quickly that you don't realize that you're almost done. The music is good, the people are welcoming, the gym is clean, and the atmosphere is so fun. The owner and trainer, Shanae, takes the health and safety of her clients personally. She is quick to offer modifications, corrections, and encouragement in a way that makes you feel empowered. She truly cares about everyone who steps through the doors of her business, whether it's your first time or your 1200th time. There are often monthly challenges to push us outside of our comfort zones and incorporate a healthy lifestyle beyond the gym. People bring in fruit from their gardens to share, books from their libraries, and community causes that need support. The Fit Mill is more than just a group HIIT workout. It's a community of incredible people who want to push themselves to be healthier and lift each other up in the process.
